Wagon/Driving truck

This wagon, with little-known previous history, was originally purchased in 2000. Being unbraked and fitted with wheels resembling non-swivelling flanged castors, it was soon to be refurbished and fitted with 'proper' wheelsets and a braking system. It has a water tank for quenching a steam loco's thirst, coal tray area, and underseat storage for tools (or more likely a lunch box!). The seat is very comfortable for a day's work on the track, after which the footboards can easily be removed for compact storage and transport.

Dimensions 37" long, 15" wide (23" inc. footboards).
